Sing You Sinners

Brothers should stick together.  That's a lesson learned in 'Sing You Sinners', starring Bing Crosby, Fred MacMurray, and a young Donald O'Connor.  Dave wants to get married, Joe doesn't want to work, Mike wants to be a jockey, and Momma Beebe wants her boys to go on singing.  When Joe screws up over and over, and Dave puts off his plans for marriage again and again, and poor little Michael gets beat up, it's no wonder Momma finally threatens to walk out on them - especially when all three of them begin to imitate Joe's unfaltering foolish footsteps.

Bing Crosby plays a fantastic trouble maker, treating us to his wonderful voice along the way.  Fred MacMurray wholeheartedly convinces us of a fed-up eldest sibling who has turned around so many times he doesn't know what to do anymore.  And a cute Donald O'Connor thrills us with a stunning performance of an endearing youngest brother, showcasing his talent in remarkable ways.  Incredible odds, lady luck looking up and down, blowing it again, lost girls, racing, chances, and even a fight, this movie never stops.
